Can a student loan be garnish from your federal tax return as well as from your employer?

Yes, federal student loans can be garnished from your federal tax return through a process known as tax refund offset. Additionally, they can be garnished from your wages, meaning your employer may withhold a portion of your paycheck to repay the loan. Both methods can occur simultaneously if you have delinquent or defaulted loans. It's important to stay in communication with your loan servicer to avoid these actions.
